The Rev. John Morrison
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church is presenting a discussion of C.S. Lewis’s novella The Great Divorce on Sunday, Feb. 28, at 3:30. The Rev. John Morrison, a C.S. Lewis scholar and teacher of literature, will lead the discussion. The free event will take place in the church at 351 Main Street. Copies of the book are available at Books on the Common and the Ridgefield Library.
According to Morrison, Lewis’s premise is that hell is a choice, and without that self-choice there could be no hell.
“In the end only two things are possible: those who say to God … and those to whom God says,” he said.
Morrison holds degrees from Dartmouth College, Hofstra University and SUNY Stony Brook. He taught English at Bay Shore High School for 36 years. His published writings include To Love Another Person, a spiritual/theological study of the correspondences between Hugo’s Les Misérables and the Broadway musical Les Mis. He lives in Brightwaters, N.Y., with Susan, his wife of 50 years.
